Now that I have looked at the replay again, Nainggolan isn't fully responsible, but he is still a prick. Paredes however, I hope his career never takes off and he can go rot in hell.

Horrible injury, the first thing that came to my mind was Luis Montes' injury, right before the WC, he just came back around a month ago.
I hope Juve can take care of him medically, he'd be better with us, hopefully his recovery goes well and he comes back stronger.
Such a shame, the kid did well for us the few times we gave him a chance. And it was looking like he has been developing pretty well with Chievo.

Such a shame. It's so rare to see a talent from our own youth being a starter in Serie A at such a young age and now this in the middle of when he was about to establish himself for the rest of the season as RB at Chievo. The year should be over for him, hopefully 2016 will be the year of his breakthrough.
Mattiello clearly fouled Nainggolan, not the other way around..
First off, the injury is horrific. No one deserves such a thing and at that age it is a shame. It was also a freak accident and I think no one can really be blamed for it. I do think think that Mattiello used poor judgment. He came in at a dangerous angle, while Nainggolan made a completely normal tackle. If anything, Mattiello contributed to his own injury.

Federico's only mistake is that he didn't cover the ball with his body well, he was exposed face to face with Naingolan's tackle, an experienced player would have given his back and most probably avoided horrible injury, that said, Nainggolan knew he was little bit too late to tackle yet he went for the tackle even if the tackle itself wasn't that bad. It's the timing and a terrible decision to not go for lower tackle when Federico was closer to the ball than him.
I doubt there would be any broken leg if he really went inside of his foot.
However, in this picture you can see how he went for the tackle with his foot up, what I was trying to say is that since it was pretty too late decision and Federico was closer to the ball Naing should have went softer with his foot stretched to the ground.
I agree with you it wasn't that harsh, but it was a clear foul that could have been avoided.

He's shielding the ball with the inside of his foot. If you look at the replay he tries to block the ball with the INSIDE of his foot. I don't think it's a foul at all.
On the other hand I do think Mattiello came in recklessly and DID commit a foul.
To be honest the difference between both players is probably Nainggolan's experience and the fact he's just a lot stronger physically.
